The evil rich guy

I keep seeing stuff on the tv about taxing only people that make over 250k a year and yet can identify an additional number of taxes on everyone that all stem from this health care debacle. No they are not direct taxes on the individual but are taxes none the less. But this really isn't the point of my post. The point of my post is that all (if not all then most) of the people calling for the re-distribution of your and my money ARE the evil rich guys. I look at Michael Moore telling us that we should share the wealth…how many homes does he own? Look at the President's home in Chicago http://chicago.about.com/od/neighborhoodshistory/ss/ObamaChicagoPic_3.htm . I don't live in a house like that. People can say all day 'but he is the leader of the free world, how would you want him to live?' and I would want him to live like that if he were promoting freedom and liberty but he is promoting socialism and if he's promoting it then he needs to live it. Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, Sean Penn, and most of the money making people with a camera and a soap box making millions are telling us to give up our standard of living so everyone can be equal, it don't work that way.

Take a peek at our world, there are over 6 billion people on this planet and over 75% of them live in poverty. While we can work to help people build themselves up, it only takes a look at the inner city of Detroit MI and other cities around our country that shows a handout doesn't help anyone better themselves. We have whole generations of welfare recipients that learn the more babies the more the government will give them. I'm not saying we shouldn't help people, I'm saying the government shouldn't take what we work for and force us to help people. As evidenced by the Haiti earthquake, the American people are willing to give and give until it hurts for a cause that is genuine, so why is there a need to spend our tax money for charitable giving.

Don't tell me I have to wear gray cotton pants and a gray cotton shirt when you wear a silk shirt and pants just so you can look like the masses and live like a king. We have a world of people trying to promote socialism that don't want to live their ideals. Let's see, isn't there an old saying here that fits…something about geese and ganders.
